X-ray device with an x-ray source fixed to a ceiling stand

Abstract

The invention relates to an x-ray device with an x-ray source fixed to a ceiling stand and a generator connected therewith in order to supply voltage. In order to achieve as compact an arrangement as possible, it is proposed in accordance with the invention to provide the generator with means of suspended fixing on a ceiling.

1. An X-ray device, comprising:
 an x-ray source that is fixed to a ceiling stand; and 
 a generator electrically connected with the x-ray source via a sliding contact on the ceiling stand for supplying voltage to the x-ray source that is configured with a suspended fixing to a ceiling in a vicinity of the x-ray source. 
 
     
     
       2. The X-ray device as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the generator is suspended on a mounting plate or inserted into the mounting plate that is mounted on the ceiling. 
     
     
       3. The X-ray device as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the generator is accommodated in a housing that is fixed to the ceiling. 
     
     
       4. The X-ray device as claimed in  claim 3 , wherein the housing is an integral part of the ceiling stand. 
     
     
       5. The X-ray device as claimed in  claim 3 , wherein the housing is fixed to the ceiling and extended from a guide rail that is fixed to the ceiling for moving the ceiling stand. 
     
     
       6. The X-ray device as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the generator is electrically connected with the x-ray source via a cable. 
     
     
       7. The X-ray device as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the sliding contact is interacted with a conductor rail provided on a guide rail. 
     
     
       8. The X-ray device as claimed in  claim 7 , wherein the sliding contact and the conductor rail are enclosed by a housing-type structure. 
     
     
       9. An X-ray device, comprising:
 an x-ray source that is fixed to a ceiling stand; 
 a generator electrically connected with the x-ray source for supplying voltage to the x-ray source that is configured with a suspended fixing to a ceiling in a vicinity of the x-ray source; 
 a first transceiver provided on a guide rail; and 
 a second transceiver interacting with the first transceiver provided on the ceiling stand, the first and second transceivers operatively associated for wireless data transmission between the first and second transceivers. 
 
     
     
       10. The X-ray device as claimed in  claim 9 , wherein the first and the second transceivers are optic or radio communication transceivers. 
     
     
       11. A method for an X-ray device, comprising:
 fixing an x-ray source to a ceiling stand that is moveable along a guide rail; 
 fixing a generator arranged within a housing to a ceiling in a vicinity of the x-ray source; and 
 electrically connecting the generator with the x-ray source for supplying voltage to the x-ray source.
